Improve Your Motivation to Workout Part 2
Motivation Quality
Just getting started? Check out Part 1 first.
We often think about fitness motivation in terms of quantity. We complain when we have little or no motivation to workout, and want to get more. However, it’s also important that we focus on the quality of what motivates you.
What is the Source of Your Workout Motivation?
One of my favourite films is Inception. You should definitely have already seen it, but in case you haven’t, Inception is all about motivation. Inception is the task of planting an idea so deeply within someone’s subconscious that they accept the idea as their own without question. It’s exactly what we’re trying to do when we want to start a new habit, such as going to the gym or eating kale (for some reason). We want a new behaviour to become so firmly rooted in our psyche that it’s not a thirty-minute battle just to put the trainers on. This is no easy feat.
